Chapter 2
I've never worked with anyone besides Jessica, much less a football player. I looked at Jessica with a face of death while she shrugged and mouthed she was sorry. I was not feeling that apology though. I turned back to the makeshift table that Logan and I made. He was looking at me with a raised eyebrow. I shook my head and looked back down at the paper the teacher gave to us. We had to create some PowerPoint about the New Deal and it looked annoying. I pulled my laptop out my bag and turned it on so I could start working on it right away. I was a good kid and I did like to follow some of the rules. I also was very smart, leading to my placement in several A.P. classes this year. So yeah I was very smart but I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want any additional torment.
“Earth to Lux? Are you in there?” Logan’s voice cut in to my inner thoughts and brought me to reality. He was looking at me with a concerned look on his face.
“Yeah I'm here. Sorry I was just thinking about something.” I explained. “Perhaps we should get started on this project before we fall behind.”
“That's probably a good idea.” , Logan agreed “Speaking of which, we can't do the project all here so who's house are we going to?”
Granted, I didn't think about that. So I panicked. “Umm, how about your house?”
“Sure! Come over today at about 4 and we can get started.” We exchanged phone numbers and addresses and the bell rang and we left.I was so nervous for the rest of the day. I couldn't focus in any of my classes and he was being way too nice. Of course I was wary, he is still a football player and he's dated many girls and broken up with them within a week. He was what we now call a fuckboy. He's got the looks, the hair, and the attitude for it.
He's also in my gym class so I always see him in the locker room and in the showers. I never talked to him before but today he acknowledged me. He nodded at me when he was getting dressed and I figured that was the best that would happen being that his friends were all around him. His friends were all horseplaying around in their underwear and they were fine with it but it was weird. Logan seemed uncomfortable too.
My last period class I has advanced psychology which is my absolute favorite class. I couldn't even pay attention and I needed to know this stuff if I was gonna be a psychologist in the future. I had no idea why I was constantly thinking of him and it was driving me absolutely insane. I took the best notes I could so I could be ready for my test that u had tomorrow that I needed to study for. When the bell rang I ran out of class to my locker to put away my books and just grabbed the stuff I needed for home. I turned around very abruptly and of course knocked right into Luke.
“What the fuck homo. Watch where you're going!” Luke yelled pushing me back against the locker.
I just ignored him and went the opposite way and got out the school. I put in my headphones and put on some Panic! At The Disco and started walking to Logan’s house. According to Google Maps, it would take me thirty minutes to get to his house so I could listen to the whole Panic album and get there. I was nervous about what was to come.
